Panzer III - Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf. M (SdKfz 141/1)

(Medium tank)

Panzer III was developed in the 1930s by Nazi Germany and had design on two basic types: the light and medium tank was used extensively in World War II. It was intended to fight other armoured fighting vehicles and serve alongside the infantry support Panzer IV. However, Panzer III soon became obsolete in this role and was replaced by up-gunned Panzer IVs, though some Panzer IIIs would continue to be used for infantry support until late in the war.
